Some pictures of the foor at tung lok east coast dim sum buffet! Thanks to JJ who took it!

I must say $23 nett is really worth it! Anyway the first round of food was decided by my committee and i during meeting! Thereafter 2nd/3rd round is each table decide what they wanna eat and just ordered till 3pm. haha!

Those circle one is the one we choose. Kind of regret why we choose fried rice and noodles. -_-'. this kind of full stand up most space in our stomach and yet not worth to eat la!

Luo Hei even before CNY! The luo hei was sponsored by 2 of the staff as they just got promoted! Looking forward to promo lunch in march/april haha!

The egg tarts are really small and cute!!

km say the jelly taste like pesticide! lol! actually i think not that bad, but their ice cream puff cannot make it! hard like rock!

Anyway boy might be coming to my company for his 10 weeks attachment. lol. saw 1 of the project for him to choose is so similar to my project, shall talk to my boss next week about it! Going on a trip after his attachment and ICT before his final year start! And of cause 1 more trip before he start work. =). Time files and he's graduating next year!

Happy chinese new year in advance! While waiting to eat my steamboat renuion dinner at home, i shall blog! hehe!

31/12/2011 - New year's eve

Decide to go boon lay cc for countdown with boy. was trying so hard to find a working atm in boon lay shopping centre, but all the atm are not working. Be it ocbc or posb. damn sian! We wanted to sea sambal stingray and etc at the hawker centre for dinner but end up we just made do with pizza hut and pay with visa!

The pizza hut at boon lay cc is meant for takeaway but they do has seats for u to dine in there. So they only charge us 7% got gst instead of the usual 17% including service charge.

All time favourite trio cheese pizza.

honey roasted wings!

Some chips meant to dip in cheese.

It was really filling and we were really hungry! haha! Anyway we went to my old house area to get some cny decoration and also withdraw money since is just few bus stops down. =). Once gotten our money, we went back to boon lay cc.

There's a whole stretch of pasar malam there! We bought muah chee and steamed coloured bun to eat! Oh boy bought some tapocia cakes too! Many old school game stalls at the pasar malam too!

A must play when i was young.

Anyway this angry bird real life game is created by RI students. Theres like nearly 100 students setting up game stalls and we got to collect stamps from each place then we will be allowed to collect goodie bag. yes boy and i both did get the goodie bag lol! Indeed lots of stuff inisde. =)

Morning i went to rebond my hair while boy went to have a haircut! =) We headed to bugis to get his new year clothes! But end up we get t-shirt for him to wear to school and didnt manage to get any clothes for cny for him that day.

Had some korean fried squid before we get out of bugis junction to go bugis street to shop! We also got ourselfves share tea! =)

We went raffles city shopping centre for our dinner at skinny pizza! Actually i also went there to collect chocolates from desserts cup! Won it from one of their facebook contest. And claire's bf is working there la! Omg really love the cupcakes there! =)

Bought vouchers for once upon a milkshake so sun bian used on the day!

I cant really remember what i had but i know is not chocolate cause i scare too heaty.

On the first day of 2012 with boy! =)!

Some updates before i start to backtrack to xmas 2011!

This week i have 2 buffet lunch~ -__-". or should i say 3?? omg. Monday we went vivo's swensens earl, they served this lunch set meal which comes with buffet salad! Was really very filling and is not that costly. The setmeal is 16.90++ or 17.90++ depends what u order! But really worth it! And this swensens earl restaurant is only at vivo if i'm not wrong.

Then on wednesday, 11 of us went to Ban Heng Restaurant at habourfront centre for dim sum lunch buffet! A farewell for lester with all the seniors. We'll be holding another farewell in feb for him. It was also not costly. 15.80++ per person! But the service was quite fast. We ordered around 3 rounds and then head back to office le. So sinful!

Friday was our company CNY shopping! Which means no work! I was part of the organising team so it was pretty tiring la~ got to make sure everybody get on the bus and nobody is left behind. Come to think of it next up is feb 2nd lou hei lunch!

Anyway the cny shopping day itinerary is go woodlands factory outlet to shop in the morning, then go east coast tung lok for dim sum lunch buffet(AGAIN!!!), then chinatown at 3pm! As i was the one planning the morning itinerary, i sort of know what to get from each palces we go. Something new this year was the taiwan snack house in woodlands! It really sells many taiwan stuff even though is just a small place. We went to a multistorey carpark which sells really nice yam paste, and also the fragrance bak kua factory outlet!

I've bought quite a lot of stuff for myself and my family la! Though i have to be part of the organising team, but thanks goodness i have jia jun and dean to help me carry my stuff. =). Oh ya alyssia a new girl which will be coming to out office at around feb also tag along with us! She's a indian chinese mix. Glad to have another girl around lol. Looking forward to her joining us in feb! =)

The lunch at east coast tung lok restaurant, another dim sum buffet and is $23 Nett! not bad right? And cause i just had a dim sum lunch buffet on wednesday, i can really compare which is better. I'm not going to eat anymore dim sum buffet for the next few months. sick of it. lol. I'm defintely looking to the cny shopping day next year! =)

Sat which is yesterday, i went over to boy's house to pass his mum all the cny stuff that i bought for her. And it was her birthday on friday! Bought her fragrance bak kua, bengawan solo cny goodies and yam paste from factory outlet! Boy then went to get his mum favourite strawberry classic cake from prima deli to celebrate her birthday!

Dec 24th 2011 - Xmas Eve!

Watched sherlock holmes in the day before going to nihon mura at jurong west SRC to have our dinner! Have wanted to go there to try because every monday i will go to jurong west SRC after work for exercise session! I've been passing by there but no chance to try it! Finally got a chance to try it! Jurong west SRC has a very nice swimming pool!



We had our buffet dinner there! I think is better than sakae for sure! Because no matter what color plates, u can just order without adding extra $$.

The complimentary beef ribeye steak. It was juicy and tender~ =)

Some abalone thingy with chawanmushi at the base.

Salmon! I can order many plates of it!

Dessert! When the waitress come with the ice cream, boy and i were surprised cause we didnt expect they give so much ice cream for 1 serving. It was really worth it but too bad boy and i didnt ordered much.

Xmas logcake i bought for my family from breadtalk! All the cakes from breadtalk this year are super cute! =)

Thursday - 22nd December 2011

It was my company movie event at The Cathay! That morning i was caught in a meeting till 11:30am. We got to be at cathay around 12:30pm. lol. Okay la, our office is not that far and is convenient to go there via north east line.

Had a very filling lunch buffet at there! By right we suppose to eat less cause of the buffet dinner at night, but the catered lunch was too nice! Anyway there's extra time before the movie starts at 3:30pm, the few of us went to PS to shop as a few of them want to shop for xmas present.

Back to The Cathay and collected our popcorn and drink!

Mission Impossible 4!

Anyway the seniors started to queue to go in the theatre around 2:40 like that. By the time we joined the queue, there's many of them infront of us. Since is free seating is best to be at the front of the queue. The seniors signal to us to join them at the front but we were very pai seh to cut other people queue. But anyway we still cut their queue!

The movie was not bad and tom cruise is really good with all the stunts he did!We headed over to Rendezvous Hotel for our buffet dinner! The staff were kind enough to let us in and sit down first while waiting for the buffet to start!

Desserts Section!

Chocolate Fondue!

Turkey!

Ham!

All the seafood~

The durian desserts!

Starters!

Anyway there's still many cooked food but i didnt take much photos of it!

Oysters! This is super omg fresh! lol. Really afraid my stomach cant take it but nope still manageable!

Their award winning laksa! But seriously i think the is the same as the famous claypot laksa at alexandra village! Ever since i started working, i've been to many different markets like the Redhill market for curry rice and nice soya milk, Alexandra village for laksa and ba chor mee, Telok Banglah(just opposite my office) for cheap with huge portion food like the vegetarian and fish ball noodles! Everything is just $2.50 and so nice!

The desserts i took! But we basically eat lots of durian desserts that night. It can be comparable with those at goodwoodpark hotel!

We set to have dinner every 2 months. So the next one would be after CNY! The buffet dinner at rendezvous is to celebrate xmas + new year la! haha! And cause straits cafe have this UOB/DBS discount, it's worth to go for it! =).

Oh ya we purposely wear red to be in the xmas mood la! We even jio the seniors to wear red/green and they really wear it! haha!

Looking forward to the CNY event this friday! CNY Shopping to woodlands! Weee! Get to buy cheap and nice cny goodies follow by renuion lunch at tung lok east coast! Dim sum lunch buffet!

Desaru Day 2 - 18th Dec 2011

Breakfast provided by the resort.

Still got many food like prata and etc. Quite a nice spread and eat till really full! It was kind of crowded but what to expect cause is school holiday.

our room number! good thing there's lift if not got to climb really high. but on the first day after we go out room keys, we really climb till 5th floor. -_-".

Go back room to nua till check out time. Spend a long time to queue up to return the room keys and get back our deposit.

Anyway after we check out, we decide to go to the water theme park to see how it looks like. We have the free entrance to it but we never go for it.

This is the internal mini van that go round the resort. haha! saves u the time from walking!

At the water theme park! okay is really small area. But imagine u stay around the resort near it, its quite noisy but heard that the resorts is more renovated as compared to the one i stayed in.

Lunch at the bar near the beach. It suddenly rained but the rain at there stop really fast.

Beef lasagna! The staff there were really friendly and the guy worked in singapore before!

Bye to our resort at 4pm.

It was quite sian waiting for the bus to come but at least by 6:00pm i'm back in singapore. =). Slept on the way back. There wasnt jam for coaches but a huge jam for cars!

Nevertheless i still enjoy this trip! first trip after working for 5 months!
